COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The name of this beer is "Peculiar Christmas" in English. This spiced Christmas ale is strange - and indeed a fusion beer. We have gathered inspiration from the Norwegian drink “gløgg”, and as such this is quite an uncompromising brew. Best served with “goro” and “fattigmann”. Recommended serving temperature 10°C/50°F, but you are free to try on higher temperatures...

Dark brown, clear, looks like coca-cola. The aroma reminds me of coca-cola too. There are plenty of christmas spices in the taste and dry maltiness in the background. Medium carbonation, medium body. Not outright bad, but not particularly enjoyable either.

Appearance: Pours a
dense ruby brown with over a finger of beige head. Short retention with decent lacing.

Aroma:
Coriander, cloves and other spices

Flavours:
Ginger, cloves, nutmeg and a boatload of other baking spices, dates and black currents.

Mouthfeel:
Thick and rich with lots of carbonation.

Overall: Super intense spice aroma I could pick up from across the room soon as the bottle opened. This reminds me of Flying Monkeys Ginger Bread beer but much stronger in flavour. It is almost to the point of over powering.

Bottle from bottle park. Aroma hits you with spice up front. Badyan, cinammon, ginger maybe. Tempting. Almost clear dark brown colour. Taste surprises by rich caramel malt profile supporting the spices in just right amount. Strong spice, moderate to strong malty and even hops flavour pokes out a bit, with a decent bitterness that supports all of above. Wonderfully complex beer packed with flavour. Spicy, nutty, toffee, biscuity, grassy hops, it is all in there. Masterpiece. Easily drinkable at its relatively modest ABV.
